Cell behind Damascus bombings in custody, Syria says

-

July 9 (Reuters) - ‌Syrian Interior Minister ​Anas Khattab said the cell ⁠responsible for what he called "terrorist" bombings that targeted ​Damascus on Tuesday was ‌now in custody, Syrian TV reported on Thursday.

Khattab said authorities ⁠would reveal ⁠the identities of the cell's members, their roles and all their links ‌after investigations were completed, it ⁠added.

Two bombs ‌exploded on Tuesday ​near a hotel in Damascus where French President ‌Emmanuel Macron spent ​the ⁠night, wounding 18 people and ‌overshadowing ⁠the first visit to Syria by a European Union ​head of ‌state since Bashar al-Assad was ⁠toppled.
